Georgie is busy planning her upcoming nuptials to Darcy O'Mara, but the wedding has become quite a royal headache, thanks to a guest list that includes the queen and the appointment of princesses as Georgie's bridesmaids. Needing a place to live in the short term, Georgie is grateful when her godfather offers his fully staffed country estate. With Darcy away, Georgie makes her way to Eynsleigh alone, only to find the small staff suspiciously incompetent, and a gas tap leak in her bedroom, which looks like an attempt on her life. In this 12th outing (after On Her Majesty's Frightfully Secret Service), something sinister is afoot—and bringing the place up to snuff may put Georgie six feet under before she even gets a chance to walk down the aisle.
